In some of the less ideologically captured communities of Psychology its a pretty common diagnosis, because a large swath of women are truly suffering from it as the root of their mental psychosis.

I'd dare say a significant amount of the "anxiety/depression" that basically all of them seem to have grows out of an illogical and intrusive fear of men that they never learned to handle. Because like a lot of phobias, they take something they should have genuine fear of, like heights or spiders, and make it all consuming and paralyzing. Men are much stronger and are capable of great evils if they wanted to a woman, so a healthy amount of fear should be present just to prevent recklessness.

Of course Feminism breeds by forcing this fear into girls as young as possible, so its almost a cultural cornerstone. And because Feminism also captured Psychology very early on, its mostly buried as a topic because of how many of the doctors themselves suffer from it and don't see it as an issue.

The primary motivator behind feminism is not fear: it's resentment.

The heart of most resentment is fear. They become afraid of men the first time they realize just how weak they are physically in comparison. And thinking about this too much brings about hate to push the feelings out of themselves and onto other people.

Its the same human instinct that causes the type of men who'd become typical "incels" to stop focusing on their own failure and spend endless days talking about how awful women are. Which might be true, but its also creating hate out of fear of loneliness and having to face themselves.

I wish women were as afraid of men as you and the OP seem to imply, but I'm not really prepared to give them that much credit. I think they use men's perception of their fear of men to manipulate the men who are close to them into doing what they want, and even weaponize them against other men. If they were as fearful as you think they are, they would be more concerned about the consequences of that behavior, but instead, they learn from the cradle that they can manipulate, cajole, bully and harangue the men around them into giving them what they want without consequence, and they spend their lives doing so without fear of consequence.

I've spent over 2 decades being an anti-feminist, doing so long before most people here joined this "culture war," and in doing so I've had to talk to far too many feminists. From Lib Fems to Rad Fems to just Casual Feminists.

Every single one of them is overcompensating for their genuine fear of men. Like, its absurd the things they are afraid of and what they think men will do to them. Like the idea of being roofie'd is almost entirely made up, their own Feminist studies found that less than 1% of cases suspected of it actually involved any drugs and most of them just blacked out from over drinking. Yet almost every woman between 14-40 is afraid of roofies like its a regular thing and all men know where to get them if need be.

And its why they are so easily convinced of the worst ideologies, because it simply promises them protection from these paranoid scenarios. Even in ways that make no sense, as most Leftist ideologies don't.

Ironically my friend, you are the one giving them too much credit. You talk of them as if they are capable of incredible plans and thoughts, and are actually deliberately working men against each other for their own benefit. Whereas in my point of view, they are just idiots that barely grow out of childish thinking. Including the short term impulsiveness of a teenager that makes them unable to comprehend consequences proper.

You are falling into the trap of thinking of them like men, wherein we solve problems and think about consequences. But these are women, consequences barely exist in their world and they live in little bubbles of emotional rationalization instead of any logical thinking.

I think you'll find that it's fear combined with opportunity. Fear is just one edge of the double edged sword.

This is why "You're just insecure" is such a common insult that is seemingly bizarre. It's them assuming you feel what they feel.
